Buying crocs in the parks?

[merbobear]

I have seen crocs everywhere for the past 2 years in the parks, specifically the Mickey croc-band style. We are headed back in a month and we need to upgrade our current crocs (worn out, growing feet, etc). Has anyone been recently that can confirm whether croc band shoes are still plentiful in the park shops? We need them for adults & children.

Thank you!

Yes, they are everywhere. I got a blister from my tennis shoes & it was too cold for sandals 2 weeks ago so I bought a pair. They had them at the hotel gift shops, Downtown Disney & at all the parks. They had adult and kid sizes.

As an fyi, the Athens style sold in the parks is different from the Athens style sold on the crocs website. I needed new ones so waited until we got to WDW last time and I had to buy 2 sizes bigger and it still wasn't right. This year I bought mine ahead of time, with no Mickey heads.

Thanks for the info! I have a classic pair now, but I tried the croc bands on in the parks last year and they seemed to fit ok

Any idea of a price point?

I think last time we went in July they were $40-$50, but can anyone else confirm this?

Bought a couple of pairs when we were there in November. Mine were $50 DS's were $35.

I usually just get mine online from Crocs. They are always sending coupons and having sales. They usually cheaper that one but maybe not as much fun to buy online. I got my husband's Classics at the outlet store.

I have to agree too. My daughters crocks got sucked into the elevator near soaring. She was okay but it could have been very serious. The crock was sawed in half. I realize this can happen with any soft foot wear. No more crocks , flip flops or other soft footwear.

Lol so true. They should be illegal, they are hideous. Crocs are the ugliest shoes and unsafe on escalators

If you have a car that is a croc shop in the Orlando premium Outlets on Vineland Ave. There is also a store at Orlando airport. Hope this helps.

Maybe so, but man are they comfortable especially when you have a blister on the outside of your little toe

We went to a museum in North Carolina where they had a display of crocs that had been eaten by the escalator. To this day, my son hates both crocs and escalators.

I don't remember exactly but I think they were $30 something...and worth every penny!

I have horrible foot pain and crocs make my life bearable... I don't understand why people feel the need to say they're ugly...

I agree! This was to my benefit... The Classic Athens are sloppy on me but Mickey's fit me great. The Mickeys are shallower (not sure of a better word?) over the top of your foot.

Kind of like the difference between regular clog vs crocband.

Op: Hope you have fun shopping! Disney, Crocs (& Vera Bradley)... What a happy place they put me in B-)

Don't give them a second thought - it's your vacation and you have every right to be comfortable and not in pain. Haters are gonna hate.

Does anyone know what colors of mickey crocs they have at the parks now? Last dd12 wanted some mickey crocs ( just the regular kind) and all they had in adult sizes were dark colors that she thought looked like "boy" colors.
